- Skewness a Pervasive Return Predictor?
Evidence indicates that asset return skewness may be useful as return predictor within and across most asset classes. - A Better Stock Value Ratio?
Evidence indicates that cash-based operating profitability-to-price is superior to widely used stock value ratio for capturing the equity value premium. - Simple Term Structure ETF/Mutual Fund Momentum Strategy
Evidence from simple tests offers a little support (from the long-term test) for belief that a term structure momentum strategy usefully exploits interest rate trend. In general, shorter lookback intervals are better than longer ones. - Performance of ETFs Employing Rule-based Hedging
Evidence indicates that ETFs designed to work like rule-based hedge funds are unattractive for investors. - Best Safe Haven ETF?
Evidence from simple tests over available and common sample periods suggests that silver, gold, longer-term U.S. Treasuries and investment grade corporate bonds are safe havens, while crude oil is clearly not.
